On April 26, 2021, the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced the opening of the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection (EEO-1). EEO-1 reports are mandated by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. If you are an employer who is required to file an EEO-1 report for 2019 or 2020, your report must be filed with the EEOC no later than July 19, 2021. Usually, the EEO-1 report is due by March 31 of every year. However, the EEOC delayed the March 31, 2020 filing in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, both the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 reports are due July 19, 2021.
Decatur Store Refused to Accommodate Deaf Applicant During Hiring Process Federal Agency Charges
DECATUR, Ill. – Walmart violated federal law by failing to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter for an applicant and failing to hire the qualified applicant because he is deaf, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed yesterday.
According to Julianne Bowman, the EEOC’s district director in Chicago, the EEOC’s pre-suit administrative investigation revealed that after the applicant applied for a position at Walmart Store #2728 in Decatur, Ill., through Walmart’s website, he was contacted by Walmart for an interview. The applicant disclosed he was deaf and requested an ASL interpreter for the interview. This request put an end to the application process – even after the applicant followed up with Walmart.

Expert Witnesses Show How Pandemic Harms Already Vulnerable Populations
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on civil rights in the workplace at its first all-virtual Commission hearing today.
“Today’s testimony makes clear that, while the pandemic continues to have serious impacts on public health and our economy, it has also created a civil rights crisis for many of America’s workers,” said EEOC Chair Charlotte A. Burrows. “All of us have a critical role to play in our economic recovery. We must come together to ensure that all employees can work free of discrimination and that everyone who wants to work has equal employment opportunities.”
